The Door Between Worlds by Laura Bernardeschi Nelson

45.0 x 35.0 cm

The Door Between Worlds Oil pastel on paper, 45 × 35 cm — framed, signed, varnished Artist: Laura Bernardeschi Nelson The Door Between Worlds portrays a dreamlike journey through a forest where reality and imagination seem to merge. A blue-green wooden walkway stretches forward, guiding the viewer toward a solitary door standing at the edge of a glowing, fiery woodland. The surrounding trees blaze with deep pinks, reds, and golds, suggesting a world in transformation — intense, alive, and slightly dangerous. The mysterious door has no visible destination and appears to rise organically from the trees themselves, as if grown rather than built. It invites the viewer to wonder: Where does it lead? What lies beyond? Is this a threshold to memory, escape, renewal, or something yet unknown? Through expressive strokes, high contrast, and a powerful interplay of warm and cool tones, the artwork evokes both suspense and curiosity. It becomes a metaphor for inner transitions — a moment in life where one must choose whether to step forward into uncertainty or remain where things feel familiar. This piece blends mystical storytelling with environmental sensitivity, continuing Laura Bernardeschi Nelson’s exploration of the emotional landscapes that lie between nature and the human spirit.
